Mocking Antigay Churches Goes Mainstream In Hilarious New Tide Commercial
A new commercial for Tide To Go has taken a page from current events (we’re going to try not to say her name for once — rhymes with Tim Mavis) and given a hilarious spin to fringe religious bigotry.
Two men approach a church holding hands when a clergywoman stops them in their tracks.

“I won’t let you blemish the sanctity of marriage!” the woman, played by Lynne Marie Stewart (aka Miss Yvonne on Pee Wee’s Playhouse and Danny’s mom on Go-Go Boy Interrupted), says.
The moment of tension is broken when she busts out the Tide To Go pen and we realize she meant “blemish” in a much less metaphorical sense.
It’s a comforting thing when antigay religious nutjobs are considered a broad enough punchline for a major brand to poke fun at.
Watch below:
Tide to Go – WeddingFirst a clerk in Kentucky, and now a church lady in Los Angeles! This same sex couple faces yet another obstacle on the way to marriage equality in this commercial I directed. Special kudos for terrific performances by Matt Marr, Karl Ramsey, and Lynne Marie Stewart.
